Bolted Joint Troubleshooting
Whether it is an emergency incident or proactive planning for elimination of a problematic leaker, understanding the root cause of the issue (within the shortest possible timeframe) is essential.
Effective troubleshooting of bolted flanged joints requires a high level of experience in the full life cycle of the joint. This includes joint design, joint assembly, gasket selection, gasket testing and joint operation behaviour. The ability to bridge the gap between test, analysis and practice is essential.
At IES we have the skills and experience to identify and resolve any bolted flanged joint leakage issue.
